I'll take some better photos of my wheels once I get them on the car, if not before. You can't see it in the photos I posted, but they're a sort of blackish/silver on the front (like a light lead or pewter colour) with black inside, but they intentionally didn't mask off between colours, which has given it a blended effect on the edges where the silver becomes blacker and more pewter-like.
